Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Press tofu slices with paper towel and add to the skillet. Fry 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp on the outside.
- To make the spicy sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Spread onion, the baby shrimps, and the fish cake slices (if using). Sprinkle 1/2 the amount of the seasoning sauce over, top with bean sprouts, and sprinkle remaining sauce again on top. Drizzle 1/2 cup of water around. Cover with the lid and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. You might need to reduce the heat toward the end of cooking time.
- Add the perilla leaves to the skillet and toss gently.
- Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in bowl which you made the seasoning sauce in. Drizzle the sauce into the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce gets thickened tossing everything gently. Serve hot with rice.
Notes
- If you want to make this dish into vegan/vegetarian, omit the dried shrimps and fish cake. Replace sea kelp stock in place of water. To make sea kelp stock, simmer 1 small piece of dried sea kelp with 1 cups of water for 5 minutes.
